My back feels similar to that, except worse where it went in. There even seems to be a small scar from the needle, but I blame the anesthesiologist- she messed up while putting the catheter through and had to redo it.

I've had back pain too since my epidural. I kept complaining about it in the hospital and they told me it was normal. I've had a hard time standing to do bottles and whatnot because it starts to hurt. I hope it goes away. After my first lo and epidural the inside of my knee was numb for over a year! It eventually went away and is normal now.

I don't know if mine is from the epi because it didn't start hurting til 6 weeks pp. But it's like a numb deep in the bone pain that you describe op. It's worse when I'm bending or carrying (which is all the time with a baby lol)

It's the worst lately because I have been trying to exercise. Stretching and massage and hot showers don't help at all!

I eat less than 1500 calories a day, and I have only lost maybe 2 lbs since my 6 week post check up... I have upped my calcium, protein and iron intake and even tried eating 2 bananas a day, to no avail! This pain makes walking a challenge.
